The last thing a 3-year-old Syrian said before he died: “I’m gonna tell God everything”

This picture is haunting and it’s been floating
around the internet with the sentence:
The last sentence a 3-year-old Syrian said
before he died: “I’m gonna tell God
everything”
And that’s equally haunting. It’s impossible to
verify but the picture tells a story about the
pain and suffering that exists in Syria right
now.
There are many in the media who would like to
say this is because president Bashar al-Assad is
a ruthless killer. And that’s half true. Like
other government leaders – he has engaged in
war and with that war has come the death of
tens of thousands and the displacement of over
1 million Syrians now living in refugee camps.
But this hasn’t always been the case. This is
the
inevitable result of a covert war being waged
by the U.S., Israel and other Sunni countries
like Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Our interests in
taking down the Syrian dictator al-Assad are
all about geo-politics. If we take out Syria – we
neuter Iranian influence in the region. It has
gotten so bad that al-Qaeda is now fighting on
the same side as the United States government
and Bashar al-Assad and his government are
fighting al-Qaeda. And Syrians are all the
victim of this massive global covert proxy
war.
It has gotten to the point where we don’t even
know if the chemical weapons that were used
in Syria were the result of al-Qaeda or the
Syrian government. When it comes to matters
of intelligence and propaganda – it’s very hard
to discern truth from fiction. But no one can
deny that Syria was a very stable country until
we decided to go in all guns blazing. We’re not
bringing democracy to the world – that’s the
sound of imperialism baby.
If you’d like to help, you can donate to the
Syrian Emergency Relief effort. One great
charity that has been on the ground for more
than 20 years, who have staff working in the
field, right now, in collaboration with the
Department for International Development is
Muslim Aid.
